CBSE Class 4 Maths: Length Workbook

This workbook builds skills in measuring length: body measures and standard units, using a ruler, choosing units, estimating, metres and centimetres, kilometres and metres, half and quarter lengths, comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing lengths, height, width, depth and distances, and word problems. It has 320 questions in 16 sections, arranged in four parts.

What your child will practise

• Measuring with Body Parts and Objects – Using hand spans, footsteps, pencils and other things to measure, and why we need
• Measuring with a Ruler – Reading lengths in centimetres on a ruler
• Choosing the Right Unit – Deciding whether to use centimetres, metres or kilometres

• Comparing and Ordering Lengths – Finding longer, shorter, taller and ordering lengths
• Adding Lengths – Adding lengths in cm, in m and cm, and in km and m
• Subtracting Lengths – Finding how much longer, how much is left, and differences in length
• Multiplying and Dividing Lengths – Finding total length of equal pieces, and cutting lengths into equal parts
• Height, Width and Distances – Length, width, height and depth; reading distances on simple route maps
• Length Word Problems – Stories with lengths, heights and distances
• Challenge Zone – Length puzzles and reasoning
• Length Check-Up – Final assessment covering every skill in this workbook
